Musakunleobi:
I will come back to this soon

Sorry I don't think so

Insecurity

Clueless and illiterate leaders

Corruption

Tribalism

Bribery (you even have to bribe people to do their job)

Lawlessness

Lack of infrastructure

Kidnapping

Bad roads

Country where mediocrity is celebrated

And the list goes on and on.

seankafor:
I feel for you.

There is light bro, at the end of the tunnel

Which light?, sorry bro to inform you, the end of the tunnel as been block a long time. With the stupid leaders we have I have my doubt about your much anticipated light.

uthlaw:
So none of ena regret leaving this fulani nation....baba God abeg make dis year no pass me!

I regret I can't drink beer anyhow here in Dubai....so sad

.

My greatest regret is I did not travel out when I had the opportunity but now things have gone south. I still believe I will give it a shot some day

I have never leave nigeria and am not think if i can leave nigeria for 5 years, even those Who were not Born in nigeria wish to come back home, if i Will leave nigeria What i Will miss most is amala and gbegiri and other nigeria solid foods. Walahi i really love nigeria food. And to me no place like home, My home is My home i love nigeria

If not for weather and food, no regrets.


It's the bad weather (-14 degrees Celsius during winter) and stupid meals that made me miss Nigeria when I was away.

Me I hate cold, I almost died during my first winter experience, na who send Osuofia go Moscow

Nigeria/West Africa is so blessed with the best weather on earth but cursed with the most foolish leaders and citizens

But there's more money to make in Nigeria as a legitimate entrepreneur with good business idea and capital than abroad, reason many ambitious Nigerians come back or shuttle between Naija and abroad.

Y am I even here in naija?

no reasonable human being will regret leaving Nigeria, even if to leave to Ghana, Togo or Guinea .

Jack500:
U can't but hide your bigotry in this wonderful thread, u are not fit to be human.

What's your problem boy?

Funny question.

Olosho is too costly here.

Wish I can see where I fit dey pay 250 for 3nuts.

I miss the food...lol

Regret is there is too much loneliness. Difficult to make friends abroad if you don't drink or smoke or womanise

Aside missing roasted corn and coconut, eating food like abacha, ofe akwu, okpa etc and maybe socialising I miss nothing. We don’t get to have time to socialise as much as most in Naija owing to our work life. My siblings are all also in the UK/US and parents late so no family to miss back home. Well except missing my umu nwa local man kwesili iji akwori ndu �

Interesting thread

NO REGRETS AT ALL. I left Nigeria with my wife and kids in an INSTANT. It's the best decision i have taken in my life and possibly the next life.

I don't regret leaving at all. I do miss a few things sometimes but overall, the advantages of being in a developed society far outweigh them.

Not having much education before leaving

Seriously no regrets..

Wondering if I would ever know some certain things I know if know that I leave Nigeria.

Nna mehn, gala fit pa curing, but bread and beans would do better

lilyheaven:
Imagine everyone leaving Nigeria.
Other neighboring countries will come and occupy her.

they have already taken over Benue state, some part of Plateau state, Taraba, Kogi and Southern Kaduna as we speak

No regrets. Living in Atlanta is just like living in Lagos without the traffic, heat, dirt, power failure etc. Nigerian joint/beer palour plenty here. Nigerian food full ground. Redeemed Church, Winners Chapel, Mountain of Fire, Deeper Life, CAC all of them dey here.
direct flight to Lagos. If you have spare $1500 , you can go to Lagos for week-end Thursday back Sunday. Best of 2 scenarios. If you update/upgrade your skills (especially modern IT skills) (note I said skills not qualifications) , jobs that can fetch $150,000 a year plenty.

When the struggle is real mehn. U regret leaving..

U can't even see that in Naija

I don't think anyone would have regrets leaving Nigeria

haven't you heard the story of the returnee's from Libya? is Libya Nigeria?

Why we like this?, I read some comments here and many nigerians are just insulting their father land.you will rather be a burden in a foreign land than develop your own.if that was how those foreigners treated their country,will you go there.lazy youths.make sure you don't come back o! we don't need people who will disdain us and be of no profit to us. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

My hubby worked for years with a marine company that was owned by his fathers village childhood friend also known as their uncle. he was so loyal to this man that a korea company came to do a partnership business with his uncles company for a year, which went very well by the way. but when they were leaving they asks for any worker that wants to join them to go back to korea to work, and all except my hubby stays back to take care of his uncles ship as a boiler room enginner. After 3 years contract with the korean company, his colleagues are millionaires now living in korea, while my husbands uncle fired my husband along with half of the staff to employ his wives village people, till today with no pay, no explanaition nothing nothing. thats my hubbys biggest regret today.

Over 2 decades outside still can't make anywhere else my 'home' this has been my struggle over the years. Though no regrets.
